It's the end of the month and that means Final Friday is coming to downtown Dodge City.

This month there will be a display of Dodge City Area Chamber of Commerce traveler's pictures from their Italy trip last fall at Dodge City Brewing from 4 to 6 p.m. according to co-owner Larry Cook. At Carnegie Center for the Arts will be the art of Kat Taylor on display from 5 to 7 p.m.

Taylor is a visual artist from Denver, Colorado, who now lives in Kansas.

According to Laura Tawater publicity chairman for the Carnegie Center, Taylor has different styles to different mediums, and her portfolio offers a variety of unique and original pieces.

"Kat finds inspiration in portraying life from different perspectives and translates it into a contrasting gallery of works," Tawater said. "Kat is determined to connect with the community and embrace the art culture of dodge city.

"The artist reception is from 5 to 7 p.m. and includes drinks and refreshments free of charge." Also from 5 to 7 p.m., Flowers By Irene will be serving grasshopper drinks and a St. Patrick's Day-themed treat.

Red Beard Coffee will be featuring their top select coffee from 5 to 7 p.m.

The art of Frankie Burns will cover 2nd Ave. Art Guild from 6 to 8 p.m.

From Lakin, Burns fell in love with art at an early age that carried through high school and into college.

Originally majoring in elementary education, it wasn't until his second year at Garden City Community College that Burns changed to an art major under the tutelage of Kyle Chaput and Brian McCallum.

Influenced by Andy Warhol and Wayne Theibuad, Burns pushed boundaries and began using uncommon materials such as wood, distressed paper, and objects that can commonly found in any salvage yard while also experimenting with color, according to art guild member Jennifer Nolan.

From 6 to 8 p.m., West Coast Plaza will be showcasing various local services and products as well as serving wine and refreshments for the public upstairs.

John and Connie Chavez will be performing from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Depot Theater along with refreshments and a cash bar available.

From 8 to 10 p.m., the Boot Hill Distillery will feature the music of Guys on a Bus, a four-part harmony with simple pop/rock choruses. There will also be handcrafted cocktails along with the distillery's award-winning soil-to-sip spirits.

Guymon Petro Bar and Grill will be featuring local rock band Guns on Mars who will be playing an acoustic set from 7 to 11 p.m., and will have Final Friday food and drink specials. According to Tawater, the Trolley will not be running until April.
